	There are config files that control authentication - at any of
several levels depending on the service in question.  I'd say look at the
man pages for the service in question for details, and also at PAM.
	RH has a construct of files in /etc/security/*.conf (particularly
access.conf) - but as stated, you can do this at several levels.
